“…The crops treated by organo-mineral fertilizer gave the highest values of leaf area, cob weight and grain yield. The same results were received by Audu [51], who investigated organo-mineral fertilizer formulated with an N:P:K (ratio 9:3:3) using urea, rock phosphate, wood ash, neem seed, blood meal, cotton seed cake, manure, and poultry droppings. Using such a fertilizer for rice cultivation had a significant effect on all the growth parameters.…”

“…Audu and Samuel (2015) also found good results for rice growth and yield mass with the use of organomineral fertilizer when compared with the exclusive mineral fertilization. The lower doses of organomineral fertilizers did not differ from the mineral fertilization for leaf area.…”

Organomineral fertilizers have been used to meet plants' nutritional needs and reduce producers' reliance on mineral fertilizers. This study aimed to determine the effect of organic matter sources for organomineral fertilizers and traditional mineral fertilizers to the sorghum initial development. The experiment followed a randomized complete block design in a '4 x 3 + 2' factorial arrangement, with four fertilizer doses (50, 75, 100 and 125%) of the recommended dose for sorghum crops (450 kg ha -1 ), three organic matter sources to compose the organomineral fertilizers (sewage sludge, filter cake, peat), a control (mineral fertilizer), and an untreated check (no fertilizers). Each experimental plot consisted of four plants divided into two pots. Plant height, stem diameter, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and leaf area were performed at 30 and 60 days after seeding (DAS) when shoot dry mass was also measured. Organomineral fertilizers outperformed both control and untreated check plots for most variables at 30 DAS. Sorghum fertilized with organomineral fertilizers also showed positive results at 60 DAS, even with dose reductions. Considering the variables herein reported, organomineral fertilizers can replace mineral fertilizers in the development of sorghum, even with dose reductions.

“…Some macro-nutrients such as N, Ca, Mg of the location improved across the whole treatment plots. It was only the combination of poultry droppings and cocoa bean testa ash that increased the soil organic carbon (OC) from 1.87% before treatment application to 3.12% after treatment application [25].…”

The combine use of dry cocoa bean testa ash and poultry droppings for the improvement of soil fertility, maize growth and yield was studied on an Alfisol south western Nigeria, located at Joseph Ayo Babalola University Ikeji-Arakeji, Ilesa Osun State, Nigeria. Research farm from April to July 2018 and from August to November 2018. Four treatments of poultry droppings (PD) at 5 tones ha-1, cocoa bean testa ash (CBTA) ash at 5 tones ha-1, mixture of poultry droppings and cocoa bean testa ash (PD + CBTA) at 2.5 tones ha-1 each and control (C) were used in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The study showed that organic manure is a valuable fertilizer and can serve as a suitable alternative to inorganic fertilizer in the south western Nigeria especially, CBTA that has higher concentration of potassium (K) and organic carbon (OC). Poultry droppings (PD 2.5 tones ha-1) treatments plus cocoa bean testa ash (CBTA 2.5 tones ha-1) produced higher values for plant height, leaf area, chlorophyll, leaf area index, plant diameter, cob length, cob diameter and grain yield against the control that recorded the lowest value. Also, CBTA improves soil pH (94%) and OC (87%) over the control as well as increases minerals such as N, P, K Ca, Mg, and Na at 19%, 37%, 19%, 53%, 43% and 36% respectively. Organic fertilizer applications increase maize growth towards the later stage and were significantly different from the control according to DMRT at p<0.05. Cocoa bean testa ash (CBTA) and poultry dropping (PD) application registered over 47% increases of N levels in the soil, from 0.15% to 0.77% to 0.84%. Organic carbon increased as poultry droppings plus cocoa bean testa ash were added to the soil. Maize grain yield increased from control plot to 1.95 t ha-1 in CBTA + PD plot. The study recommends an application rate of cocoa testa ash and poultry droppings for maize growth on this type of soil in this agro-ecology.
